Maneki Neko! I was trying to remember what those cats are called.

Thank you for your visiting, as always, and leaving your comment!
I am happy for you that you remembered Maneki Neko! Maneki means to welcome or hawk, and actually the action of the left forehand is the Japanese way to indicate, "Come here." as opposed to the U.S. and U.K way.
